"Chicano/Latino Studies students should make time in their schedules to participate in EAP. Studying abroad, and particularly studying in the Mexico-U.S. Comparative Perspectives Program in Mexico City, offers CLS students the opportunity to study and to experience the roots of the migration experience which is central to understanding the contemporary Chicano/Latino experience. Studying abroad ensures that students will be able to thrive in new and challenging environments. As importantly, the EAP experience allows students to live abroad and make cross-national connections while progressing toward their UCI degrees."

Students automatically receive 1 general education course for Cat. VIII for studying abroad for 1 quarter in any country.

Chicano/Latino Studies majors have the flexibility of choosing to study abroad for a year, semester, or summer during any year they are a student at UCI (freshman-senior). Check with your academic counselor for guidance.

Strategies for Chicano/Latino Studies Majors

Note: These are only a few strategies that demonstrate how a student can study abroad and graduate within 4 years. There are many EAP programs that can be substituted into the same strategies. DO NOT LET THESE EXAMPLES LIMIT YOU. Please consult the EAP Program Search for more options.
